Chapter 2: Phase one
Naruto POV
After some un-eventful weeks, I had managed to become fast friends with Jacob, he is Billy's son. We usually meet up on Saturdays and have fun with his other friends at the reserve. Charlie was excited about his daughter coming to stay with him.
I had finally managed to be on a somewhat friendly basis with Edward, I was now able to get answers which were not in a monologue. I was on good terms with Carlisle; I had even met Esme (his wife) and enjoyed their company. Though there was a great progress with Alice too, due to her bubbly nature. I doubt though it was out of her curiosity as to, why she may have seen just of glimpse of me in her visions standing on the cliff overlooking the city, which was also a mild memory justu with which I incepted that vision in her just as to make myself more involved with the Cullens; just a little manipulation for a greater good. I know she wouldn't get any other visions regarding me, unless they are implanted in her cause I am the piece of the game which has no definite move but when used will changed the whole game, hey I was not called the no. 1 unpredictable ninja for nothing. I most definitely know that she would take that issue up to her family and thus they would be intrude by me cause Alice's vision meant that I would be involved with them in something with them soon.
I was soon invited by Carlisle to his house for dinner, he said that
"As you are new here consider it as a sort of welcoming dinner to you from Cullen, seeing as you are friends with Edward, Alice and me too." Carlisle
"Well I don't mind, it would be great. Though I hope I am not a bother to you. "Naruto
"No problem, also you have met my other children too, right?" Carlisle
"I haven't met them personally but Alice talks a lot about them and you, though I think I have seen Jasper but he doesn't talk much." Carlisle
"Yes he is like that. Well anyways, you are all done, but I must say you should be careful next time. These kinds of injuries happen to you often. Are you sure you have no problem in your eyesight?" Carlisle said jokingly. I was sitting in his cabin at the hospital getting stiches for a cut which I had on my hand. This was all part of the plan.
"Yes right I am sure my eyesight is much better than you old man. I could out match you in that anytime if you want. I am just a little bit curious about my surrounding to watch other interesting thing." Naruto
"More like clumsy." Edward said while coming in through the door of his father's cabin.
"Hello Naruto, father we have to go mother has called us home. She has something to talk about" (though I think it may be about something else, just a cover code to talk in front of me)
"Yes well I am finished with treating Naruto, we can leave now. I am sorry Naruto to cut it short but I have to leave." Carlisle
"Yes I know family first. Good bye. I am sure Charlie must be outside to pick me up, knowing you may have called him" Naruto
"Yes well it's his orders to call if you are here, can't help it your guardian left you here under his care. And he is not the one to shy away from responsibility." Carlisle
"Yes I know and I appreciate that. Ok bye Carlisle. Edward." Naruto
Then outside as expected Charlie was waiting for me in his car. Though I know it was a sort of cover for me to stay in touch with the current unusual events of activities in the city, it was nice to know someone was there to look out for u in the time of your need.
"Hey Charlie, what bring you here?" Naruto said sheepishly.
"Don't act funny with me, Naruto. What was it this time?" Charlie
" well I was looking around an alley way and I saw an old lady who was trying to cross the path, so I went over to help her but somehow I slipped and I sort off caught her purse which she assumed I was stealing her purse . So she ran after me with her cane in her hand and I tripped on a black cat and thus I came tumbling down with the cat and when I stopped i held up the poor little cat who intern gave me this scratch on the hand." Naruto… well truthfully it was just a little scratch which I got while training with a new rasengan which I am trying to develop. But the look on Charlie and even Carlisle's face was good.
"Is that so….. This scratch is what you call 4 stiches. I met Dr. Carlisle when he was leaving just moment before you came. You should be more careful you know." Charlie
"Yes well it's the same." Naruto fake pouting.
"Ok well I will leave it for now. So had dinner or should I drop you home?" Charlie
"Dinner would be ok." Naruto
So we went to the same place where he has been taking me since the time I started living in forks. A little chit chat her and there and I was dropped home. As soon as I was inside I removed the bandages covering my wound and saw a completely healed arm. I changed into my training gear and went out to my clearing.
I had sensed the Cullens enter the forest today. Must be some food hunt or such I had left a Kage Bushin which would be capable enough to scout for now and it would summon when need arise for me to step in. and thus I started out my normal routine.
After some hours I got back the memories of the Bushins, meaning it had dispelled its self and the Cullens had left. Though it did give me an interesting memory of the conversation by the Cullens.
Memory
"So you invited a human to feast in our home?" Rosalie
"Yes Naruto is a friend of ours plus inorder to find out more about the vision Alice had it is necessary to interact with Naruto on that level so as we can gain more information as to why this vision would be triggered in the future." Carlisle
"But was it wise Carlisle to invite a human in our home and that too considering we are vampires, we won't be able to eat like him and if we lost control we might eat him." Rosalie
"I know that my family has more control over one self, so I can trust you all to behave" Carlisle
"Well I think it is nice for father to ask him to come for dinner it should be fun beside Naruto is so cute with his whisker marks" Alice
Jasper gave her a look which spelled jealousy
"You don't need to be jealous. You know that don't you" Alice said as she kissed jasper
"It will be fun to cook again" Esme said
"It might help me information from his mind too rather than his usual thoughts may be." Edward said as he remembered last time he tried to get in Naruto's mind he had ended up in a wild fantasy involving many women. And boy if he wasn't already dead he would have died of nose-bleed.
"Ok then if that's settled, let's head back" Carlisle
Memory end
Well that was the end of the day.
Well after class I drove behind Edward who was surprisingly driving fast which I intern to surprise him followed him with ease. I could have outrun his Porsche easily and reached at his home, but that would be suspicious to him. There as we reached I found Carlisle in the living room waiting for me he greeted me and I he showed me to the kitchen where Esme Rosalie and Emmett were there making food with the help of a video. Esme came over and greeted me
"Hello Naruto, hope you like Japanese?"
At that point Naruto got tempted to ask "what are you making?"
"Dumplings, rice cakes and chicken ramen "Rosalie answered boring
At this point Naruto had hearts in his eyes with drool coming out of his mouth, he went over and grabbed Rosalie's hands and started shouting "you are making the food of gods. I will be ever grateful to you."
At which the Cullens had a sweat dropped and Rosalie shrugged him off saying "weirdo…"
Moving on Carlisle showed me the house and by the time the tour was over we were back in the living room where Alice had arrived, she and japer had apparently gone to get some fruits. As soon as she came in she hugged me and started chatting in her usual demeanor.
When we all sat down for dinner Esme had busied herself in feeding us or more specifically me, it was funny to watch everyone just play with their food. It felt like I was in the witch's house from Hansel and Gretel being fed to get fat so they could enjoy eating me later. But I thought not to push the matter more as they are vampires who eat animal blood and they wouldn't feast on normal food but they had taken up their time to make ramen for me which was more than enough to get in my good books. With an "Idatakimasu "I dug in and I could sense people staring at me intently, but who cares when there is ramen in front of you.
Edward's POV
When Esme produced the ramen from the kitchen Naruto's face lit up like a kid on his birthday and then started breathing his ramen with such speed it would put a fat man to shame. He was eating with such intensity that it disgusted me to some extent whereas Esme, Emmett, Carlisle and Alice were enjoying the show whilst stifling there laughs. Rosalie had a kind of disgusted and bored expression on her face and jasper had his usual stoic expression.
When I tried to read Naruto's mind again I got stuck with a dream land of ramen everywhere u could see and Naruto in the middle eating it.
Edward POV end.
As soon as I finished my ramen I looked up and said to Esme that it was almost as good as the ramen at my place. To which Esme replied a thank you.
Then from behind him, Edward called and as soon as Naruto tried to turn he unfortunately slipped and had a little cut on his head from which some blood came out. Edward picked him up
"I am alright, just a little scratch no harm done." Naruto said as soon as he looked up he saw all their faces it looked like everyone was in control of their thirst but jasper was failing to do so ( as he was new to being on a vegetarian diet) he was about to pounce on him which Edward had read his mind and was about to intervene in his line of attack, but Naruto was least bothered he was after all one of the stronger being on the planet, so he looked directly into jaspers eyes and whispered a barely audible " calm down", as soon as he did that jasper was again in control of himself. It felt to him he was given a command which had to be followed and he was almost sure he heard Naruto's voice. He now knew for certain that there was more to Naruto then meets the eye.
Again Naruto said "why are you all looking at me like you have seen a ghost? Or is it that I am already dead and I have become a ghost. "To which he started running around in circles clutching his hair. This seemed to have lifted the pressure from the atmosphere of the room as everybody sweat dropped again.
This time Carlisle said "nothing of sort has happened Naruto. Though if you don't mind may I look at your head just to confirm it's just a scratch?" He looked at Naruto's wound which as usual was healing rather even by vampire standards and he was only human. Carlisle had observed this before also during treating him before and had secretly taken his blood sample for analysis because after all he was a doctor. He was still not able to get a reason for his rapid healing. But after he had seen the look on jasper's face when he was going to attack and in an instant calm down he knew something was off and he was sure he was going to find out soon.
Then Naruto said that he would take leave and thanked Esme for the food to which she replied she would love to have him over anytime to which Naruto replied " I will take you up for the offer, cause I wouldn't leave a chance to eat ramen " soon he sat in his car and drove off.
As soon as he was gone there was a family meeting at the Cullens residence.
Edward "I think there is something off in this situation."
Carlisle "yes I have my suspicions too, how exactly did you calm down jasper?"
Jasper "well unfortunately I had given into my thirst. But as soon as I was about to attack him i looked up at his eyes and for a brief second I did not see the blue eyes but that with Concentric Rings though I am still not sure about this and I heard a some tell me to calm down, It was more of a command then a request to which I felt I must obey. It was sort of with authority "
Edward "yes we all heard it though it was barely audible even for us vampires to hear with heightened hearing. "
Esme "you all don't think it was Naruto?" to which Carlisle gave a nod "but he is a mere human teenager how could he do that"
Edward " well jasper was about to pounce Naruto's thoughts had completely vanished for a second and he felt calm and collected and his eyes were different like jasper said I also saw it cause I was about to push Naruto out of jaspers line of attack, it felt he knew jasper was about to attack him."
Alice" I don't understand why did I not have a vision about this; it should have been in my vision. It seems like I can't see past Naruto. It's like those mutts from years back. You don't think he is one of them?"
Carlisle" no he is not of Quileute blood that I can confirm besides they all hate the sight of us, then it would not explain the friendliness Naruto displays with us. If it had been the case he wouldn't even be able to stand in front of us without losing his temper and transforming into a wolf." Further he continued "I am even curious about his healing factor, the cut though was not that big but the speed at which it healed was very fascinating, even our wounds don't heal that fast and we a vampires"
Edward "I had my suspicions since the day he has appeared among us. Even when I talk to him he doesn't reveal much and his past is very shady. I even looked up his family name and all I found nothing the contacts said that either it didn't exist or either it's classified."
Emmett" is it possible for him to be a half breed? Or the Volturi sent him to keep an eye on us?"
Carlisle." No I am 100% sure he is human by all means. I have done tests on his blood. Thus the Volturi also are not a part of this"
Alice "but Naruto doesn't seem like he is our enemy. In fact he gives out a friendly and warm aura."
Emmett "so what should we do?"
Carlisle "I guess we should keep our guard and I think it's time we find out more about Naruto. We have to follow him."
Edward "but if he is here for some ulterior motive than don't you think he would be expecting it?"
Carlisle "well it's worth a shot. I would like you and Alice to keep an eye on him seeing you both are close to him. Soon we will decipher this mystery."
With Naruto
Well I think that went better i thought. But the thing with jasper must have made them more suspicious of me. I did not want to reveal my true self to them so soon. I think I am pretty sure I am being followed if those blurs behind are any clues. But I guess it can't be helped anyways I would have to be allies with them so might as well get it over with soon. Though I think I am getting more involved with them then I need to. It would be difficult for me to disappear again if I get more attached to them…Nah; I think I am just being paranoid.
Though the part of being followed was true. As Alice and Edward had taken up that duty since they were both fast and stealthier. Naruto had reached his home and soon changed from his normal clothes to some kind of training outfit. And he came out from the backyard.
What Edward and Alice didn't know was that they were also being spied on by the Kage Bushins of Naruto spread in the whole city and the forest.
Naruto was calmly walking towards the forest he could have simply teleported like usual to his spot but it was time to reveal himself. He thought of enjoying the scenery today with the full moon and walk in the silvery light. As soon as he neared his spot he went in the barrier and from Edward and Alice's point of view he completely vanished without a trace due to the barrier thus they also went to the spot where Naruto seemed to have vanished while walking into. They were able to sense a foreign energy barrier (since Naruto had given them permission) so they walked inside this barrier to find a clearing with some wooden post and a hot water spring with steam coming out. Though they were fascinated with how a hot spring was there in forks, there was a garden full of different kind of herbs and flowers. All this seemed foreign to the atmosphere of forks. It felt as though the place inside the barrier had a different climate. They were so engrossed in their findings that they didn't notice two eyes opening behind them and soon a voice boomed in the clearing while a sinister laugh echoed "well…well….looks like you got lost in the wrong part of the woods"
